Re: [Wikimania-l] Volunteers needed for the "Learn to edit" desk at Wikimania

Hello Ciell, I am attending Wikimania and I am interested in helping out. I am a bi-lingual (two mother tongues) French/English, and I can get by in German as well as smatterings of Spanish and Italian. I also do teacher training about using Wikipedia in schools, both as readers and as editors.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Socket type in the Sheraton Hotel

I think that this conversation is getting way off track. The original question was about what type of adapter on needs to be able to plug into a power mains in Canada. One smart answer was the picture of the sockets available. I suggested that someone in Montréal see if he collect a bunch of

Re: [Wikimania-l] Socket type in the Sheraton Hotel

Hi, I have a request for our American & Canadian friends: Could you collect a lot of power cables with US sockets, so that all of us foreigners can use them instead of complicated adapter plugs ? I know that I have dozens of them hanging around my house, they come with all the equipment but I do

Re: [Wikimania-l] Montreal airbnb for a group

Hi Phoebe, Like I said before, I have another "backup" hotel reservation for the duration of the conference, and I have not cancelled it yet. It is at the "Hotel Bon Soleil", less than 2 km away from the Conference venue. The hotel is quite cheap, but not really wheelchair accessible. Should I

Re: [Wikimania-l] Visa rejections

I have a few comments: 1) We do not know how the Montreal venue was selected for Wikimania. Jean-Philippe said: "A "Wikimania Montreal Committee", now defunct, was behind the request to WMF to have Wikimania in Montreal and they did not coordinate with the chapter in doing this." The situation

Re: [Wikimania-l] Say MiLLE GRACIE to all Wikimania volunteers

An excellent idea! We can send thank you cards to the adult volunteers, but we must do something collectively for all the student volunteers. It is obvious that the organizers cannot give out the addresses of minors, so the best way to express our thanks to all those wonderful kids would be to use

Re: [Wikimania-l] Power plugs

There are different types of plugs in Italy. The two-prong plugs will fit in. The problem is with three-prong plugs. You may need an adapter for Italy. >From personal experience. a lot of the plugs - even in modern hotels - look like this:

Re: [Wikimania-l] Comitato Wikimania Esino Lario 2016

I will add my grain of salt to this discussion. When I was young, and I was traveling a lot, I would stay in Youth Hostels. Membership was mandatory. Things have changed a bit, Youth Hostels now call themselves "Hostelling International" and in most places membership is no longer mandatory. But

Re: [Wikimania-l] Dietary preferences

It looks like the best option is to go vegetarian. I think that it would be unfair to place such a burden on the Mexico Wikimania organisers when most travel guides are quite explicit about the difficuty of getting Halal certified food. Must be the same for Kosher food.
